Shaikh Property Partners
Montreal real estate,
operated like a portfolio.
The dedicated operating partner for owners of multi-unit Montreal portfolios who would rather spend their time anywhere else.
The Problem
Owning Montreal real estate should not feel like a second job.
You bought Montreal real estate because you wanted equity exposure to a market that has outperformed the TSX for fifteen years. You did not buy it to spend Sunday afternoons coordinating a plumber, chasing rent, or arguing with a tenant about whether they damaged the dishwasher.
Yet every quarter you find yourself doing $40-an-hour work on assets that pay you $400 an hour at your real job. Every March your accountant asks for documents and you waste a weekend digging through a chaotic Drive folder. You have not raised rents in three years because you are not certain of the legal procedure, and your buildings are quietly underperforming because nobody is operating them like a business — they are being managed like a hobby.
Most owners eventually accept this as the cost of holding real estate. We do not.
Free Revenue Gap Audit
Find out exactly what your portfolio is leaving behind.
Most Montreal multiplex owners are underearning by $6,000–$18,000 per year — and they don't know it because nobody is running the numbers.
The causes are almost always the same: rents that haven't tracked market in two or more years, deferred maintenance that compresses NOI, and no quarterly review of operating costs against the benchmark. Each issue is fixable. But first you have to see it.
Tell us about your portfolio and we'll send you a personalized Revenue Gap Audit — a concise breakdown of where your properties are likely underperforming and what closing each gap is worth annually. No pitch. No obligation.

What clients say
Owner results.
“Before Shaikh Property Partners I lost three weekends a year to tenant turnovers and dreaded every March when my accountant asked for documents. Now my P&L lands in my inbox on the 5th of every month, and I have not fielded a tenant call in nine months.”
“I inherited the building from my parents and live in France. For two years I had no idea whether my property manager was actually doing anything. The first quarterly report from Amir was longer than every report I had received in the previous eighteen months combined.”
“Amir did an eighteen-month operations engagement that documented $54,000 in unrealized rent and $22,000 in deferred maintenance. The building sold $185,000 above what our broker's first valuation suggested.”
“Three rental units in Montreal, owned for tax purposes, completely off my radar. Now they are a real income stream and I never look at them. That is the actual dream.”
“Bilingual operations and someone who responds within an hour during business hours. After fifteen years of bad property managers, this should not feel revolutionary, but it does.”
Founded by an engineer
An operating discipline,
borrowed from heavy construction.
Shaikh Property Partners was founded by Amir Shaikh, an engineer who spent his early career at Kiewit, one of North America's largest construction firms. He started the firm because he noticed the same pattern across every owner he met: sophisticated, time-poor investors holding excellent Montreal real estate that nobody was operating with the rigor it deserved.
Applications
Five client portfolios.
One founder.
No marketing engine.
